Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has boasted of having people of integrity and character standing with him amid his face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Fubara said one ex-governor of the state, Peter Odili is better than 1000 people without integrity.

He spoke over the weekend at Ndoni Town, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the the state.

According to Fubara: “I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again: it doesn’t matter the number of people that stand with you.

“Even if you’re standing alone, no matter the side you’re standing, provided you are standing on the right side, maintain your stand. And we are happy to stand with Odili.

“We are also happy that he is standing with us. Even his person alone is giving people high blood pressure. They are restless, granting all sorts of media interviews.

Why are they doing it? It is because the people that matter, the people that have what they claimed they have; integrity, are with us. That is the truth.

“So, if we have one person who has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with questionable character? So, we are happy to identify with him.”
